Hi,
I'm using salesforce plugin to pull the logs, and it is downloading 6months worth data that is available in Salesforce. Is there a setting that I can use to download logs from specific date?
Thanks in advance.

That's not really a logstash question. SOQL allow date comparisons in the [WHERE clause](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_soql_select_conditionexpression.htm), so if your rows have a timestamp that you can compare to then you can select by date in the [sfdc\_filters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-salesforce.html#plugins-inputs-salesforce-sfdc_filters) option to the plugin.

Thanks Badger for pointing us in the right direction. I used this filter to grab data from Salesforce and it worked.
sfdc\_filters =\> "CreatedDate \>= 2024-02-20T13:58:24.000+0000"
Now if I remove the filter and rerun logstash will it get the older data before the above filter date or will it get the current data?
Thanks,
KK

I do not know. Just try it and see.
